Asking a question as to whether getting it from Apple opposed to a Carrier is a conversation to have in which place is better, but just because someone is curious is questionable. My question would be, what are you going to do with this Poll after its over ?

The 4 arrived the day before the official launch day. The 3GS arrived on launch day. I was an idiot and did not preorder the 4S. I reserved one and waited in line for a few hours. I don't want make the same mistake with the new iPhone. I am preordering it as soon as I can.

With my iPhone 4 I picked it up at my local Vodafone store, but I got one of the last ones. I will probably go and pick it up at an Apple Store as I assume they will get a much larger delivery, but I have a few questions.

What are stock levels like at Apple stores on launch day? If I show up pretty early in the morning are my chances of getting one pretty good?

And I know Apple used to take reservations online for in-store pick up but am I right in saying they scrapped that with the launch of the 4S (in the UK)?

Thanks.

I pre ordered the iPhone 4 for in store pick up... That was a mistake. I will not be doing that again either.
